I was in the same dilemma before. In the last 4 years I've changed 3 cars (1 got totaled) . All those were purchased . The current car I have, was bought in 2009 , back then after going through the same dilemma I decided to buy it. My decision back then was based on multiple reasons. I thought I was going to mod the car, put many miles on it and have it for at least 6 years. But none of this happend. After 2 years of owning current car , I got bored with it and I ordered a new one recently( couple of weeks ago) And I decided to lease it , coz I'm sure I would want to change car after 2 years. Had I leased my current car, I would have saved some $$$$ .
In summary ask itself these questions,
Are u going to be driving a lot more than 15k a year?
Are you going to mod your car ( it's fun modding these cars) ?
Would u stick to ur car for at least 4 years?
If the answers to these questions are yes, then I would recommend buying it. If not lease is a way to go.
P.S : there are some members on this forum who have leased the car and performed mods on it. But remember you have to revert them before returning ur car after lease end.
